The 2006 NBA Draft has come to an end, but what attracted the most attention tonight was not the rookies, but Wayne, who was traded four for one.

The saddest thing is none other than Chris Paul.

What does it mean to fall from the clouds to the trough, what does extreme happiness lead to sorrow?

The champagne and cigars in my hands suddenly no longer smell good.

The music was still playing, but suddenly I couldn't dance anymore.

Forget about Randolph not being dealt with, now here comes Wayne...

You can’t let anyone live anymore!

You are trying to unite to bully me!

Paul wants to cry but has no tears. I am the strongest 183 on the surface, will I be reduced to a dribbling defender?

Schwartz also called Wayne after the draft: "The day after tomorrow, I will take you to Portland to meet with the Trail Blazers management.

They would like to meet you and discuss future plans with you."

"Okay Jeff, it's finally settled, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's finally over. Next, you have to be prepared in the west. The competition here is more intense than in the east."

"Don't worry, I'll see you the day after tomorrow, Jeff."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne smiled.

Are you going to meet with the management so soon?

Speaking of which, Steve Patterson has always wanted himself.

It was only greenlit by Bird two years ago.

Well, if Bird were still around, who knows if this deal would have happened.

The next day, the blockbuster trade between the Trail Blazers and Pacers made headlines in newspapers in both places.

Fans in Torn City are quite polarized. Some people are cheering for this, while others are not optimistic about this deal.

Wayne and Randolph are together...I'm afraid this isn't Prison Team 2.0.

Oh, and there's also a cannonball.

Originally last season, Pao'er and Randolph were at loggerheads, and rumors of their disagreement were flying everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that Paoluo is just a rookie and doesn't dare to be too arrogant, look at the chaos in the locker room.

Now, here comes another Wayne who has a problem with Paoluo. This is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

If the locker room is messed up, the Blazers will really fall into a whirlpool again.

That guy Randolph might pull out his gun at any moment.

Besides, even if they form a lineup of Paul + Wayne + Randolph, the Blazers may not have much breakthrough.

In this case, it is better to cultivate Roy + Aldridge + Paul.

Some people think that the rookie FMVP can continue to shine in Portland. Although Wayne has a lot of fights, his strength is still online. He is a proper All-Star starting level, and he is very likely to get stronger!

As for the relationship with Paul, there is actually no need to worry at all.

The core of the conflict between Paul and Randolph is not actually their personalities, but their attitudes towards the game.

Randolph is basically in a state now where winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as he can get data.

And Pao'er has had a desire to win since high school.

If these two people are together, there should be no trouble.

But Godway is different. Godway also wants to win.

In the face of a common goal, the two people will definitely resolve their differences.

Wayne: To settle the old feud? It doesn't exist. But don't worry, my diplomatic level is still very high.

If Portland fans had mixed feelings about the deal, those in the cornfield were derided.

"They actually traded Wayne. Our championship lineup only existed for two years and was completely dismantled!"

"Oh my god, I can't believe Downey would make such a decision. I hope everything goes well for the team."

"It seems that we are going to enter a long period of reconstruction. It's just a pity that Jermaine..."

Although everyone knew there was a rift between Wayne and Walsh, they still couldn't bear to see Wayne being traded.

They originally thought that Wayne would be another one-man-one-city legend, but little did they know that their illusions were shattered so quickly.

Paul also accepted a phone interview with reporters the next day, asking him what he thought of the deal.

Pao'er: "The management's decision is very correct. I am very much looking forward to joining forces with the rookie FMVP! To be honest, I can't wait to start the new season as soon as possible!"

Well, Pao'er on the phone is happy, but Pao'er outside the phone has a drawn face.

After all, he is the old fake-smiling boy, and this kind of operation is not uncommon for Pao'er.

The reporters originally wanted to interview Randolph, but they couldn't find anyone else.

I don’t know where that fat man went and died in a drunken dream.

Just after the dust of Wayne's trade settled, the "war" between various teams to compete for Yao Ming also entered a fierce stage.

Dawson and Gou Lei looked at the contracts and were frightened.

The Bulls paid 70 million in four years. Well, this is actually considered as a way to kill people.

Because the Lakers directly offered Yao Ming a five-year maximum salary contract estimated at 85 million to close to 90 million!

If Yao Ming renewed his contract early last season, his maximum salary would be calculated based on last season's salary cap.

But now that the contract is renewed, the maximum salary will be calculated based on the salary cap after the increase next season. This is the difference.

So although they both have maximum salaries, Yao Ming's current price is completely different from before.

For this reason, the Lakers are already preparing to pardon Brian Grant to make room for Yao Ming.

Chase Yao Ming with all your strength!

By then, the triangle offense of Kobe + Yao Ming + Odom and Phil Jackson will be back!

These two quotes have already made Gou Lei tremble with fear.

The Bulls' offer of $70 million over four years was actually quite acceptable, so I gritted my teeth and decided to cut it off.

But 90 million in 5 years...

How does this match!

90 million in five years. If Alexander was willing to part with this money, Houston would have won the championship long ago.

Just when Goulei thought this was exaggerated enough, the pioneers who had just finished their work yesterday suddenly stepped in again.

"Breaking news! The Portland Trail Blazers offer Yao Ming a maximum salary of 90 million in five years! They will compete with the Lakers!"

"What on earth do the Pacers want to do!? Isn't their operation over yet!?"

"Oh my god, if Yao really joins the Trail Blazers, that would be terrible!"

Mr. Stern was stunned when he saw the news.

Paul Allen, don’t bully others too much! What are you trying to do? Are you capable of making money!?

Allen: Yes, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Why do the Trail Blazers always have so many junk contracts in history? It's because Paul Allen doesn't treat money as money.

As long as it's a player he wants, he's willing to spend any amount of money on it.

As a result, many players got big contracts in Portland.

To put it bluntly, what the Blazers have always been short of is not money, but money not spent wisely.

This time, while both Paoer and Wayne were still under child labor contracts, the Blazers had to be extravagant.

Wayne was also confused after seeing the news.

Are you so courageous? Bid with the Lakers!

The Trail Blazers are preparing to go straight to the stomach this year.

But with Yao Ming + himself + Randolph, wouldn’t the inside line be too crowded?

Should I play small forward?

With a confused mood, Wayne came to Portland as planned.

This time, Patterson and Pritchard also went to the airport to pick him up in person, just like they did when Wayne came to the Trail Blazers for trial training.

"Wei, we meet again, welcome to the City of Tear!" The moment Patterson saw Wayne, he almost cried.

The goddess I have longed for day and night...the male god finally agreed to be with me!

The diaosi counterattack is in progress!
To be continued...
